Chops Percussion will be selling all of the Pearl/Adams gear used by Veritas Percussion during the 2022 WGI season. This is a HUGE opportunity to save on gear that has only been used for a few months. If you’re looking to upgrade your battery percussion or your front ensemble gear, this is the time to do just that.

In order to reserve an item we must have a PO from your school, check or credit card payment. We will arrange delivery to you in the final weeks of April 2022. Keep an eye on the list to see what is still available and give us a call to get more information!
